    re: Second best

    Someone predicted this dip in so called for 10 games ago was it and was heckled and called a heretic.

    Still people won't face the facts we are not moving forward. Lucky with a point today but still trying to say we have improved.

    Umnnnnnn

    No you didn't, you changed your (fatuous) argument from "we haven't improved under McClaren" to we are not making progress this season, whereas those of us who understand football know that a loss of form and confidence by the players isn't unusual.

    Norwich by rights should with the quality they have in the squad be top by a mile, but they are not, you as always overlook the fact that we have a key player missing and Eustace isn't fit, plus injuries and suspensions mean that we haven't been able to field a settled back four.

    Sometimes i wonder whether you know anything about football!

    Yes I think we are missing Eustace and Thorne massively, the gloved spaniard can be class at times but only in the right games that suite his style. One thing that can't be questioned is the effort from the players, sometimes to their downfall, defence sometimes panic to get the ball away which leads to dangerous mistakes. Looking forward to boxing day and hopefully 3 points.

    I predict in 20 games' time we'll have won some games, lost some games and drawn some too.

    I predict it'll rain sometime in 2015 and that if my dog keeps barking up the same tree, it'll be the right tree at some point.

    Can i get a prize if i'm right?

    re: Second best

    The key to promotion is a settled side that plays regularly together with only small changes.

    Since Keogh was injured, we have had Buxton/Shotton, Buxton/Keogh and Keogh/Shotton as our CH pairing. Added to this we keep rotating a different midfield threesome, its no wonder we are shipping stupid goals and we cant seem to find any rhythm going forward. Eustace is a starter for me, and while I like Mascharell he isnt quite up to the speed of the championship all game. Someone else has already mentioned Hendrick on another post, for me he is well off form and this is also another reason we are struggling, easily our best player on his day. we need his form to return.

    As soon as we have a settled backline and our solid midfield back the wins will return.

    To coin a great phrase, with the return of Thorne, it will be like a new signing

    I did say in another post that the loss of Thorne was clearly an issue, the absence of a key p
